3 year old shows up with babydoll, small play purse and 3 lipsticks. Like really? In what world would it be appropriate to send her to daycare with lipstick? Glad it’s friday!

Yes dear parent I know this comes as a surprise but your child is well behaved after you leave. No they don't cry all day nor are they sad, pouting or demanding like they are when you're here. Do you really think I wouldn't tell you if they had a bad day...everyday? Believe me I would, and you'd be picking them up because I wouldn't deal with it. And if it continued.... I'd terminate. Oh yes I would. I love the little ones...but you dear parent are the most frustrating part of my day. Sorry for the rant

When the parent tells you the baby sleeps in a crib and is safe sleep ready...but doesnt sleep at all! Then mom tells me “yeah she sleeps good at night, but during the day she only sleeps in our arms”

Do parents like holding their child 24/7? How do you get anything done? Why do you feel your baby needs to be held all the time? Do you ever wonder if this may be the reason your baby isnt developing motor skills- Why your 6 month old cant roll over..amongst other things?
I may stop enrolling infants..Comment

I had the day from hell yesterday with storms and all the night before. Then a parent picks up and gives me an immediate notice that her child won't be back. Gave me some half ass excuse she doesn't think it's a good environment for him. He is in school the majority of the time to begin with.i believe it's a cop out to get out of daycare because I'm closed sept14th for a wedding.Comment

I have 3 all 12 months and under right now
... they sleep better here than home because I refuse to coddle & hold. Of course during storms I have my fairy lights blinking so it helps a lot when it gets dark daytime (Solar inside - I put the sensor at the top of my windows). When my babes get older, they get mini flashlights to make them feel safe during thunderstorms

"You get what you get and you don't get upset"
Oh my, how many times have I used this phrase this week!!!
*I* wanted the purple plate!!! *I* wanted the pink cup!!! Sorry kiddo, maybe next time. She cries for 10 minutes during lunch because she didn't get the pink cup. Dcg starts hugging her to make her feel better. It's bad enough that the parents coddle these twins so badly.
"she's fine" I say. Milk all tastes the same in whatever cup you get. So now I'm the big bad meanie.
I do NOT have time for these types of fusses.

Now now if you don't you will be told you are unfit for their child."You get what you get and you don't get upset"

15 month old is being extremely aggressive towards other kids all week. Taking toys, scratching when she doesn’t get her way, smacking and even pulled my hair TWICE. Texted mom about it on Monday. Her response was hmm that’s weird she doesn’t act like that at home.
Comes in this morning, pulled moms hair twice and scratched her sister. What was done about this?!? NOTHING!!!
Both girls I like this. I can’t deal with it.Comment

If mom won't handle it then you might not be able to change the behavior; everyone needs to be onboard. I do under 24 months only... I specifically state in my contract I age out starting at 18 months and no later than 21 months based on if I have infants waiting on the space (and partially because many toddlers need more play space, but they also become more aggressive ); none of my families have issues with me suggesting they need to move on sooner than later if I see too much biting or aggression... I love the one little I had to push out by 19 months because he was hurting younger infants and his mom agreed; he picked it up from cousins & just didn't get that jumping on babies backs was not OK... at 3.5 years you would never know it's same kid (I still care for as a Drop-in on football weekends when the babies aren't actually here along with a few other aged out toddlers/preschool age).Comment
